It’s going to be a cracker at Old Trafford on Saturday with the Gunners on a serious and plausible quest for more impressive scalps to add to their growing list of casualties but the Red Devils have pulled themselves together after their shocking demise at the hands of the newly promoted Burnley, firing in 5 goals against Wigan Athletic in their most recent Premier League encounter.
Sir Alex Ferguson will be delighted both Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov scored against Wigan and with superstar, Wayne Rooney in fighting form in the wings, the Gunners may well find their hands full in what has to be branded the most exciting Premiership encounter of the season to date.
Arsene Wenger’s men have scored 12 goals in 3 outings in all competitions, compared to Manchester United’s 8 goals in four and with United battling to get their defensive strategy working at an optimum without Edwin van Sar, Rio Ferdinand and possibly Johnny Evans and Nemanja Vidic; it could be the perfect opportunity for the Gunners to dominate proceedings.
Fortunately for Wenger, his main men in defence, Thomas Vermaelen and William Gallas, appear to have formed a formidable partnership and they are likely to keep United’s goal scoring opportunities far and few between.
